I never thought I would be coming to the aid of Microsoft but when your wrong I have to say it.
I disagree with the following quote "Sorry, but if Microsoft owns a "controlling interest" in WebTV, then it becomes their responsibility to the customers of the previously independent company to ensure quality of product and service. "
If you own say a controlling intrest (51% or more) in a yo-yo factory. And 1,000 yo-yo strings break when 1,000 people used them, would it be your fault. I say no. It is the responsibility of the one that runs, designs and operates the company. MS just owns stock in the company.
